Search - List of Books by D. Harlan Wilson

D. Harlan Wilson (born September 3, 1971 in Grand Rapids, Michigan) is an American short-story writer and novelist whose body of work has been associated with the genres of irrealism, science fiction, fantasy, horror, bizarro fiction, splatterpunk, absurdism, literary fiction, ultraviolence, and postmodernism. He is the author of several books, and hundreds of his stories, essays, and flash fiction have appeared in magazines, journals and anthologies in multiple languages.

Wilson is perhaps best known for his award-winning novel Dr. Identity and the subsequent Peckinpah: An Ultraviolent Romance, both of which he has fancifully categorized as examples of "splattershtick," a form that bridges a metafictional, literary representation of ultraviolence with the silly, gimmicky realm of pop aesthetics. His writing intellectualizes the stupidity of pop culture in order to satirize western society and illustrate the degree to which reality has evolved into a cinematic nightmare.

An associate professor of English at Wright State University, Wilson received his Ph.D. from Michigan State University and two M.A. degrees, one in Science Fiction Studies from the University of Liverpool and one in English from the University of Massachusetts-Boston. In addition to writing fiction, he is a prolific reviewer and essayist and has published a book of science fiction criticism called Technologized Desire: Selfhood & the Body in Postcapitalist Science Fiction.

Wilson is also the reviews editor of Extrapolation and the editor-in-chief of The Dream People.
